Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to ___40___ my disability pension(残疾抚恤金). ___41___ I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited in my ___42___. I decided that I would consider ___43___ to singing in restaurants.

When I told the owner of the shop about my ___48___, he gave me a long, thoughtful ___49___. “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”

【解析】

1.属于上文提示法，首句中出现ill，此选项应是ill的同义表达，故选D.sickness。

2.属于上文提示法，上句出现病情可以manageable，所以作者应该是享受那段过去的美好时光，故选B.enjoyed。此选项在2009年全国一卷完形填空部分第41题出现过，且也为正确选项。

3.属于下文解释法，下文出现发生改变，结合首句作者生病，可推出作者表达的是不幸的情绪，故选C.unfortunately。此选项为高考完形填空中的的高频选项。

4.属于转折对比法，上文出现yearsago和changed，因此推出此题应回归现实，故选A.now。此选项在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37题出现过，且也为正确选项。

5.属于固定搭配法，addupto总计，makeupfor弥补，补偿，getridof处理，摆脱，takeadvantageof利用，此题应选B.makeupfor。此选项考生不应陌生，2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21题D选项曾出现过此词，可见背历年考题中的选项部分的重要性。

6.属于逻辑关系法，此法多用于句子与句子之间，解决连词的问题。此题因为作者下午需要睡觉，所以受到限制。故选B.As。

7.属于上文解释法，第三段首句提到作者打算做某事，但由于病情，下午需要睡觉，所以选择受限，故选C.choices。

8.属于前后照应法，上文提到过几年之前唱歌的事实，此处再次出现要去唱歌，故选D.goingback。

9.属于中文代入法，全家都是音乐家，所以走进音像店会被认出，故选A.recognized。

10.属于AandB法，这是并列结构，要求前后词性与词义要相似，几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵，之后理应推出没有足够的钱，故选A.money。

11.属于反义多一对，即四个选项中有一组反义词，答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构，根据文章信息，故选D.often。

12.属于中文代入法，实际上一张光盘里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故选A.actually。

13.属于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到过想再次唱歌的这个想法，故选C.idea。

14.属于同义辨析法，此考查点多在四级考试完形填空部分中出现，在2008年高考英语浙江卷第26题也曾考查过，当年的难度系数约为0.32。此题中的B.view强调的是眺望风景，C.look强调看的眼神，D.sight强调视力，本文店主深深地看了作者，属于眼神之间的交流，故选C.look。

15.属于固定搭配法，店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺，从空间穿过，故选D.through。

16.属于感情色彩法，此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure，因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手，心爱地触摸，故选B.lovingly。

17.属于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美国俚语，随你挑选的意思，故选A.pick。

18.属于语法识别法，近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查，一般只会涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本应该做的事情而没有做，放在原文中过于牵强，而本题是作者受到店主的感激，非常感动，本可以哭但没有哭，故选D.couldhavecried。

19.属于寻找重复法，31题与32题之前曾出现onlythreetofoursongs...canuse，对应...couldsing,故选B.theones。

20.属于主旨概况法，即所选选项要与原文中心相一致。本文详细描述店主对作者的帮助，店主的善举感动作者，故选C.kindness。

考点：考察记叙文

点评：叙述作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实，歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力，即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在做题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。
